Artists reception tonight @ UAlbany

As part of the region’s ongoing celebration of Henry Hudson historic voyage 400 years ago, the University at Albany museum is presenting an exhibition of contemporary artists who explore the themes of travel and discovery — it is all about the journey, the process of getting from one place to the next. The artists are Radcliffe Bailey, Olaf Breuning, Anna Conway, Mark Essen, Adam Frelin, Valerie Hegarty, David Herbert, Emre Hüner, Matt Leines, and Cameron Martin

They deploy various media including photography, painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, film and video games in artwork that is rife with possibility, fraught with anxiety, and ultimately, tempered by absurdity. Such are the results of beginning any new venture without a map.

The artists reception is Tuesday, September 15, 5-7 pm, at the University Museum at UAlbany, 1400 Washington Ave., Albany
